Can i just put all the standoffs in the case or will it mess up something. And if someone could give me a video tutorial for this thanks.

No, don't do that. Not all boards designs use all the standoff positions. And extra ones can short out the back of the board. Only put in the ones that line up with the mounting holes the board uses.

However, if you have a mATX board in an ATX case and want to store the unused standoffs below the bottom of the short board in the extra mounting holes, that's OK.
